How long does it take to break negative habits?
Negative habits are the results of a long process of conditioning that will not simply go away and stay away without a process of reconditioning. Quick-cure reports continue to be believed and only cause more misleading information about hypnosis. We cannot-in one or two sessions-make someone an ace salesman, an excellent public speaker, an honor student, etc. Nor can we break anyone of a smoking habit which they have had for years, within a few hours. Effective and lasting results cannot be produced in a couple of sessions. In effect, the hypnotist is a teacher, instructing his student to use his own innate potential to bring about change.
